360 (I assuming you had it at 8k) is never as good a quality as regular 4k however I thought the 360 footage was very good. I love my Insta 360 One R which is getting old now but it sits under the aircraft so if I damaged or lost it I wouldn't be too gutted, however not sure I'd want to put an x4 under there just yet :-) Stunning footage around the clouds Mike and some very nice landings. Brilliant.
Many thanks Terry! It was set at full 8K so the cropped footage would still be good enough to meet the 2K quality. It was a very expensive purchase, and will hopefully provide lots of good footage. Still need to figure out the best way/place to mount it with minimal risk of losing it if the boom failed...
Enjoy the camera. You’ll get more from it as you learn its unique characteristics. Im using x3 for sometime now, and I think I’ll wait for the x5 before upgrading. The x3 is slightly lower resolution, but does the job.
Cheers! Thanks, definitely going to be a steep learning curve with it - so much potential! Next thing is the courage to extend the boom further out... Looking at ways to support it better to spread the load away from a single attachment point.
Cheers Andy! Really appreciate the feedback 👍 Agree regarding things being put of proportion at times - possibly down to the camera settings, and also may be improved with better camera position. We'll have to see after some dabbling with these things!
Hi Sam - no - although microlights can be fitted with a 'Ballistic Recovery Chute' I have actually never come across a flexwing with that fitted - we really shouldn't need one - Flexwings are basically a very advanced hang glider, with an engine. Turn the engine off and the plane glides very well. The training includes a LOT of engine failure practice, and we can land in most fields etc safely enough.
@@InducedBank I enjoy watching your videos , as a flexwing pilot myself I hope one day to venture up your way. Feels like the flying season is just starting , I just went to Popham Saturday… first nice day that fell on a day off in 6 months. Let’s hope we have a good year this year. Fly safe . John
